Mittens is uniformed about drug testing welfare recipients

Uploaded by ThinkProgress6 on Feb 13, 2012

The drug testing for welfare recipients is certainly a form of class warfare.

Gov. Rick Scott (R-FL) started to test welfare recipients and less than 5 per cent of those tested failed. A federal judge halted the program because she indicated the program was not cost effective and that it violated Forth Amendment rights.

This is more right wing social engineering. The poor have a tough enough time as it it. They don't need to be harassed further.

Well, Gov. Scott and Mittens are both 1 per centers. What did you expect?

GOP candidates claim they are all po' people

Yep, Mittens, the Newtster, and the rest of this lot are just like you and me. 

Of course, they really aren't Most of them with the exception of Ron Paul and John Huntsman, sold out as corporatist shills and whores years ago. 

The job of these GOP politicians is do the bidding of the one per cent, maintain the status quo and to dismantle depression and post-depression reforms whenever possible. That's what the deregulation emphasis of the GOP is about. 

Of course, they want to ingratiate themselves to their bosses so they have cut the taxes of the affluent as well. 

Any time that a progressive suggests that the wealthy are disproportionately benefiting from the Bush tax policies, Republicans shout, "class warfare!"

Karl Rove was one of the first to use the "class warfare" term during the first GW Bush presidential campaign.

Anything that threatens the GOP's crony capitalism is socialism. Crony capitalism is a kind synonym for fascism.

In the book A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous Fourteenth Century, Barbara Tuchman writes about a peasant revolt in 1358 that began in the village of St. Leu and spread throughout the Oise Valley.

At one estate, the serfs sacked the manor house, killed the knight, and roasted him on a spit in front of his wife and kids. After ten or twelve peasants violated the lady of the house, they forced her to eat the roasted flesh of her dead husband before they killed her.

That is class warfare.

Arguing over the marginal income tax tax rate for the top one percent is not.

Half of US are poor or have low incomes

Nearly 1:2 Americans lives in poverty or have low income according to US Census data. Of course, all the GOP will do is whine about the low or no income earners who don't pay federal income tax.

Programs like Food Stamps and tax credits for the poor have kept many families afloat. Although the GOP bemaons the welfare state, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Food Stamps) and the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) are the only significant US welfare programs and both are fraying.

The states worst hit by the recession are in the south and west such as Arizona, New Mexico and South Carolina, The south and west are dominated by conservative politicians, low wages and right to work laws that weaken unions. 


The US now has a a "have more" and "have not" society with the fifth most unequal distribution of income in the world. Middle class people who should have known better bought into Reaganomics, supply side economics and the Bush Ownership Society.  


The disaster that has befallen America was caused by the offhshoring or jobs, the anti-social tax policies of Republicans and bull headed deregulation.
